TL:DROur advice = Use your real life storefront name for locations on Google & Google my Business.
But beware, this is not something that flies well with the wary algorithms of Google. Their rules for naming your location and venues are clear. It should correspond with the name used on the storefront. So if your venues do not have individual names on their actual sign on the building it is advised not to use custom names in PinMeTo and subsequently on Google and Google my Business locations.
Altogether we think it is a no brainer. If you as an administrator/owner of locations need to keep track of your venues you should do so with a method that does not require custom names. There are other ways, and if you need any help with it please do not hesitate to contact us support@pinmeto.com.
